C
Divide
💡 Explanation:
Division is splitting into equal parts or groups. It is the result of "fair sharing".
Example: there are $12$ chocolates, and $3$ friends want to share them, how do they divide the chocolates?
Answer: They should get $4$ each.
We use the ÷ symbol, or sometimes the / symbol to mean divide:
$12 ÷ 3 = 4$
$12 / 3 = 4$
